Tassie broker named Australia’s best franchise business

Monday, 3 August 2015

Aussie Moonah has been named Australia’s ‘Office of the Year – Franchise’ at The Adviser Magazine’s 2015 Australian Broking Awards.

Corey Brennan, owner and franchisee of Aussie Moonah, took the much sought after title at a gala awards event in Sydney, winning the accolade over other branded mortgage businesses from across the country.

Mr Brennan said “We were competing against franchise businesses not just in Tasmania but across all of Australia, including those in much bigger and stronger property markets than Hobart, so to be named the national winner is a massive honour.

“My team strives to provide the best possible home loan service to Moonah and our surrounding communities, so this accolade is a tremendous testament to the ongoing hard work and dedication of the whole team. We get so much enjoyment out of helping people secure finance for their homes and investment properties, and Aussie is a really supportive, trusted and dynamic partner who helps me to drive my business forward and do more for the local community,” Mr Brennan said.

Chief Executive Officer of Aussie, Mr James Symond, said "It’s always really pleasing when our stores and brokers are individually recognised for their success, so I’m really proud of Corey and the team at Aussie Moonah for winning Office of the Year.

“Aussie Moonah punches well above its weight in terms of the sheer number of home loans they settle in a given year. For the award period they settled 417 home loans; that’s the second highest number of loans out of any Aussie franchise in the country, and we now have 175 of them, so it doesn’t surprise me that they’ve been recognised as the country’s best by the industry,” Mr Symond said.

“Aussie Moonah is doing exceptionally well under the leadership of Corey. Hobart is an interesting but challenging market, and Moonah not only held its market share while they also opened a second store in Kingston, but achieved almost 30 per cent growth year on year,” Mr Symond concluded.

Corey Brennan and the Aussie Moonah team provide expert advice to help customers through the process of finding and applying for mortgages from Aussie’s panel of up to 20 lenders, including the big banks. For more information about Aussie Moonah, visit www.aussie.com.au/moonah.
